Don't cheap out. Buy the recommended spark plugs. Either NGK: PZFR6F-11 or DENSO: PKJ20CR-M11.


Using the wrong plugs can cause problems. I've lost count with how many people used a different spark plug and had misfires because of it.

It's recommended to do it at 110k miles, but it doesn't hurt to do it sooner. I think I replaced mine around 85k. I don't recall exactly when it was; it's been a while since I did it.

Seems like gimmickery, and I certainly wouldn't use them.

Same as in both are double platinum, but not exactly the same. They have different stock numbers, and different gap sizes. Here...

vs.

It's your car. Roll the dice if you'd like, but be sure to let us know whether or not you have any problems afterwards. (let's hope you don't)

They might work just fine, I really don't know for sure, and I personally wouldn't even bother risking it.
